As more and more time ticked by, more and more faces arrived. In any other state, it would have set alarm bells blaring in the soldier’s mind. But now? Now it only widened his grin, and he bellowed out a greeting in a pleasant, booming tone.
His voice echoed through the inn, loud and warm, a stark contrast to his usual restrained presence. One of the newcomers in particular caught his attention, and before he really realized it, he was dancing his way over in their direction.
Then he heard it.
German.
The sound of it spilling from the old woman’s mouth lit something up inside him, and Sarge barked out a raucous laugh.
Without waiting for a response, he swiped a handful from the bar and shoved them toward her, giving an exaggerated waggle of his brows before slipping back out onto the dancefloor, already swept up in the music and the motion once more.
Willkommen im Howff! Komm rein und mach mit! Wir beißen nicht, naja, schon nicht ganz, aber keine Sorge, solange du keinen Mist baust.he added with a laugh.
Iss ein paar Beeren, probier die Häppchen, sei fröhlich! Komm und tanz!

Lust auf Spaß, Oma?he called cheerfully.
Hier, nimm dir ein paar Beeren! Lass es dir schmecken!
Without waiting for a response, he swiped a handful from the bar and shoved them toward her, giving an exaggerated waggle of his brows before slipping back out onto the dancefloor, already swept up in the music and the motion once more.
